For the record, for GNU packages we stick to the GNU description as
maintained in the Womb and ‘guix lint’ makes sure we do:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/womb/gnumaint/pkgblurbs.txt
However in this case our Xorriso description seems to differ. Are you
OK with the one in pkgblurbs.txt above? If not, can you provide a
suggestion?

Indeed, we should do that.

As package maintainers our choice is to *not* use bundled software in
such cases, though. Is it the only difference between the two xorrisos?
Thanks for your feedback, it’s useful guidance!
